1. T
he great spiritual masters of Central
America long for the return of Quet-
zalcoatl when the feathered-serpent
will replace the Christian Cross.
Quetzal is the name of the paradise bird and
coatl, the word for serpent. Its Maya equivalent
is Kukul-Can, and Gucumatz for the Quiche
in the Popol Vuh. No one knows exactly when
the winged serpent colonized the Americas but
H.P. Blavatsky says the Mayas existed in Plato’s
Atlantis. e Maya civilization arrived in the
Americas as a mature culture with art, archi-
tecture, religion, and a system hieroglyphics
which became phonetics. oth-Hermes mi-
grated from Egypt and became known in the
Americas as Quetzalcoatl, the rst ruler of the
Toltecs, and Mayans. In Peru he was called Ama-
ru Lord of Amaruca, literally translated as ‘Land
of the Plumed Serpent. e origin of the name
America is commonly attributed to the Italian
explorer Amerigo Vespucci and not Amaru-
ca. Quetzalcoatl is said to have been born on
August 13th. So perhaps now that Land of the
Great Plumed Serpent, is nally gaining more
credibility among scholars, it is time to restore
the name Amaruca
to its rightful place
and celebrate the
birthday of America
